Djokovic defeats injured Alcaraz to advance to Roland Garros final

PARIS - Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic is through to the Roland Garros final after defeating Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 following three hours and 13 minutes of play.

Early in the third set, Alcaraz was forced to forfeit a service game due to cramps and his movement remained limited as a result of the injury despite a medical timeout he took after the set.

In a bid to win a 23rd career Grand Slam title, Djokovic will face the winner of the tie between Alexander Zverev and Casper Ruud in his seventh Roland Garros final on Sunday.
